"Raising Private Money in Real Estate Deals is a Skill and Not
an Art"
Stop me if you've heard this one before
but real estate investing, in order to pay off big, requires
some play money which must be equally big.
This is the popularly accepted wisdom
and it becomes the stumbling block which stops many real
estate investors with the necessary drive and set of skills
from even dipping their tow into the market.
The whole knack of real estate is that you, as the investor,
do not necessarily need to have a single penny to your name
provided you have the skills necessary to bring together
the elements required to close a successful, profitable
sale and make money for others who do have it but do not
possess your skills. These are private investors eager to
get into the real estate market but baulking not at the
cost involved but at their lack of knowledge and their inability
to acquire it.
This is where you come in. I know from direct personal
experience that there are many investor out there looking
to connect and if you are new to the business you need to
work on two fronts. First you need to actually attract private
money and convince them that you are the right man for the
job and second you need to work at closing deals and creating
a reputation.
I know it's not an easy task and many times I cover in
my courses and bootcamp workshops how to find private money
investors and how to convince them that you are the person
they can trust to make their money grow.
The first part is relatively simple. Private money can
come from almost any quarter. From friends who want to invest,
from family members who have spare cash, from colleagues,
from recommendations and referrals, from business angels,
from business contacts and from business acquaintances.
Identifying who these people are, where they may be and
how to approach them is a matter of developing the necessary
skills. I can tell you that you neither have to be as charismatic
as JFK nor as holy as Gandhi. You just need to know what
to say and what skills set to present and then you'd be
off and running.
This way, raising money to fund your real estate investments
will allow you to leap several steps in your road to total
financial independence. In the process you will generate
wealth for many of the private investors, create a name
for yourself and make your job of finding future opportunities
that much easier. Not bad for learning a few skills, right?
